And Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly, said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: since you have rejected it, and judge yourselves not worthy of eternal life, behold we now turn to the Gentiles.

For thus the Lord has commanded us, I have placed thee for a light of the Gentiles, that thou shalt be for salvation unto the extremity of the earth.

men who have imperiled their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, themselves also proclaiming the same things by speech.

but not finding them, they dragged Jason and certain brethren to the rulers of the city, roaring that, These who have turned the world upside down are also come hither;

For in him we live and move and have our being, as indeed certain ones of your own poets have said, For we are truly his offspring.

and said to them, Have you received the Holy Ghost, having believed? And they said to him, But we have not heard if the Holy Ghost is (given).

For you have led in these men, who are neither robbers of temples, nor are they blaspheming your goddess.

If indeed therefore Demetrius, and the mechanics along with him, have a charge against any one, the courts are in session, and there are lawyers: let them implead one another.

I have not sought the silver, or gold, or raiment of any one;

I have shown you all things, that it so behooveth you laboring to assist the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Rising up, go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee concerning all things which have been ordained for thee to do.

who, having come to the chief priests and elders, said, We have anathematized ourselves with an anathema, to taste nothing until we may kill Paul.

And the chiliarch taking him by the hand, and having gone away privately, asked him, What is that which you have to tell me?

And he said, The Jews have entered into an agreement to ask you that to-morrow you may lead Paul to the sanhedrim, as about to make inquiry as to something more definite concerning him.

Therefore do not be persuaded by them: for more than forty of them lie in wait for him, who have obligated themselves by an oath, neither to eat nor drink until they may kill him: and now they are ready, awaiting the promise from you.

Then indeed the chiliarch sent away the young man, having commanded him to Tell no one that you have revealed these things to me.

But I confess this to you, that according to the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of our fathers, believing all things which have been written in the law and in the prophets:

In this I also exercise, to always have a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

whom it behooves to be present before me, and accuse me, if they should have anything against me.

having commanded the centurion to keep him, and let him have liberty, and prohibit no one of his friends from ministering unto him.

And Paul apologizing, that Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I done anything wrong.

And Paul said, I am standing at the tribunal of Caesar, where it behooves me to be judged. To the Jews I have done nothing wrong, as you indeed well know.

If therefore I indeed am guilty of unrighteousness, and have done anything worthy of death, I do not ask not to die: but if nothing of these things of which they accuse me is true, no man is able to gratify them (by my death): I appeal unto Caesar.

to whom I responded, that it is not the customs to the Romans to slay any man gratuitously, before that the accused may have his accusers face to face, and receive a place of defence concerning the charge.

Concerning whom I have nothing definite to write to my lord; therefore I have led him to you, and especially to thee, O king Agrippa, in order that, there being an investigation, I may have something which I shall write;

Then having received help from God, I have stood unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said were about to come to pass:

And as they did not approve to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are inappropriate;

Then what? are we the better? By no means: for we have proven already that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips.

and they have not known the way of peace.

as it has been written, That I have constituted thee the father of many nations, before God whom he believed, who quickens the dead, and calls things which are not as really existing:

For if we have grown together in the likeness of His death, we shall also be in the likeness of his resurrection:

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.

But thanks be unto God, that whereas ye were servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart the type of teaching into which ye were delivered:

But now having been made free from sin, and having become servants unto God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.

But now we have been made free from the law, being dead in that in which we were held; so that we serve in the newness of the spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

as has been written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I do have mercy, and I will commiserate whom I do commiserate.

For the scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very thing have I raised you up, that I may show forth my power in you, and that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth.

and as Isaiah has before spoken; Unless the Lord of Sabaoth left to us a seed, we would have become as Sodom, and would have been made like unto Gomorrah:

For I testify to them, that they have a zeal of God, but not according to perfect knowledge;

for being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

Then how can they call on him on whom they have not believed? and how can they believe on him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

But they have not all heard the gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report?

But I say, Have they not all heard? Yea, truly, Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.

But to Israel he says, All day long have I reached forth my hands to a gainsaying and disobedient people.

For God has shut up all in unbelief, in order that he may have mercy on all.

For we indeed have many members in one body, but all the members have not the same office:

Have the same mind toward one another, not thinking high things, but condescending to the humble. Be not wise in your own conceits.

Let every soul be subject to the higher authorities. For there is no authority except that which is from God; and the existing authorities have been ordained of God.

For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Whether do you not wish to fear the authority? do the good, and you shall have praise from it:

The faith which you have, have it with yourself before God. Happy is the one not judging himself in that which he approves:

For so many things as were previously written were written for our instruction, in order that through the patience and through the consolation of the scriptures we may have hope.

But I have written unto you more boldly in part, as reminding you, on account of the grace which has been given unto me from God,

Moreover I have boldness in Christ Jesus as to the things appertaining to God:

in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem, and around about even unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ;

but, as has been written, Those, to whom he has not been preached, shall see concerning him, and they who have not heard shall understand.

But I exhort you, brethren, to mark those who cause divisions and stumblings, contrary to the teaching which you have learned, and depart from them.

God is faithful, through whom you have been called unto the fellowship of His Son our Lord Jesus Christ.

which no one of the princes of this age knew; for if they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God; in order that we may know the things which have been graciously given unto us from God.

For who knows the mind of the Lord, who shall give him counsel? But we have the mind of Christ.

I have fed you with milk, not with meat; for you were not yet able. But ye are not now yet able:

But, brethren, I have transferred these things to myself and Apollos on your account: that you may learn among us not to be wise above what is written; in order that you may not be puffed up one in behalf of one against another.

For who judges you? and what have you which you did not receive. But if indeed you received it, why do you boast, as not having received it?

Already are ye filled, already have ye become rich; you did reign without us: and I would indeed that you did reign, in order that we also might reign along with you.

being scandalized, we entreat: we have become as the offscourings of the world, the refuse of all things until now.

For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, but you have not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

But I will come to you quickly, if the Lord may will; and I will know not the word of those who have been puffed up, but the power.

Fornication is truly heard of among you, and such fornication which is not among the heathens, that one should have the wife of his father.

And have you been inflated, and have not rather mourned, that the one having done this work may be taken from your midst?

For indeed I, being absent in body but present in spirit, have already judged the one having thus done this, as being present,

I have written unto you in a letter to have no fellowship with fornicators;

For now I have written unto you not to keep company with him, if any one denominated a brother may be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a scold, or drunken, or an extortioner; with such a one not to eat.

Then if indeed you have judgments appertaining to this life, do you sit those down who are little esteemed in the church?

Indeed it is already altogether a small matter to you, that you have law-suits one with another. Why do you not rather stiffer injustice? why are you not rather defrauded?

And such were some of you: but you have washed, but you have been sanctified, but you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of our God.

Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? and you are not your own;

for you have been bought with a price: indeed glorify God in your body.

but on account of fornication, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband.

But I proclaim to those who have married, not I, but the Lord, That a wife shall not depart from her husband

Have you been called being a slave? let it not be a care to you: but if indeed you are able to become free, use it in preference.
